Ingredients
For the spaghetti filling:
- 8 oz spaghetti noodles
- 1½ cups marinara sauce
- ½ lb ground beef or Italian sausage optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the garlic bread:
- 1 large loaf of French or Italian bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
Instructions
- Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente (8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Brown the meat in a skillet, drain fat, then stir in marinara. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in spaghetti until well coated.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice bread lengthwise and hollow out the bottom half to form a boat.
- Stuff the spaghetti mixture tightly into the bread. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Mix melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush over the top bread half and edges of the stuffed loaf.
- Place both halves on a baking sheet. Bake for 10–15 minutes until the cheese melts and bread turns golden.
- Place the top half over the spaghetti loaf, press gently, slice thick, and serve warm.
